among the places Of interest visited
was the mammoth grocery establishment
OF Joseph II. Brown, the largest grocery
building in the world, very broad asser-
ton but nevertheless true. The large
factory in connection with the establish
ment, which is separated from the main
building by g narrow street, where the
celebrated Silver Loaf baking powders
are manufactured, was also visited by
the press in g body. In the factory is
also manufactured candy and chewing
gum coffee is also psrched. Mr.. G. NJ
Switzerland, who occupies the respOn-
slble position OF buyer for the firm, es-
corted the ladies' and press gang through
the house and factory.
After seeing the building, carriages
were in waiting and q drive made over
the city, and many enterprises were in
spected among which was the cracker
factory.
Alter inspecting the interesting ma
chiEe-y for the manufacture of crackers,
other parts of the city were visited, and
on every hand evidences of growth, thrift
and enterprise were noticed.
During the day the association enjoyed
s rare musical treat al the residence Of
Mrs. ". s. Huffman. The elegant music
room and parlors Of this charming lady
were thrown open to her guests, and the
fine playing is one of the pleasant mem
cries Of the Queen City.
Indeed t would require one whole issue
of the Chronicle to do justice to this in
teresting visit of the press association,
and Fort Worth aud its superb spirit and
hospitality will be always remembered by
the press gang.
